On previous campers, I have used the stick-on levels, and they seem to do fine for a couple of years before the sticky starts to weather and lose it's grip. No problem...I just bought new ones and...

I guess I should have emphasised that point when mentioning over-tightened stabilizer jacks. As has been already pointed out, DO NOT level with stabilizer jacks. I just tighten mine until I see...

I checked it on the floor in front of the fridge, and verified it agreed with the bubble level on the hitch jack. Once I had done that, then I was able to trust the level at the jack, and just use it...

If you jumper two pins on the 7-way plug, you can do this. And if you want to get fancy, you can plug an old fashioned automotive turn signal blinker directly onto the connector and make the running...

Residential dimmers that are LED compatible are still meant to operate on 120VAC. Unfortunately, the lighting circuit in an RV is 12VDC. That would require a special DC type dimmer.
